Ever tried to get a photo of an Echidna? It’s quite a challenge. Taking a photo of a ball of spines is all good but as with most animals, it’s just not right without the eyes. So after spotting this one and getting the initial ‘proof of sighting’ photo I set about trying make an image that really worked without scaring it away. This is what I came up with…

After many late nights since returning from my trip to South Africa and Botswana I’ve finally got a new calendar together for 2012! It is filled with 13 (including the cover) of my favorite wildlife photos from the trip printed on A3 200gsm satin art paper with a sturdy top wire binding and hanger. They are a fantastic gift idea and if you order before the 17th of December in many parts of the world then you will receive your order before Christmas (Redbubble Christmas shipping dates).

If you are looking at this post mid year and don’t want to wait 6 months to get a calendar you actually select which month of the year you want you calendar to start when you order. The default should be Janurary but make sure you double check before you click Add to Cart.

African Wildlife is not your thing then I also have several other calendars available in my Calendar Album or go to my portfolio page for card & prints of all my photos including many more from the trip. If I can get a few more photos uploaded tonight I might have a “Birds of Southern Africa” calendar too.
